"Europa Secundum Legitimas Projectionis Stereographicae Regulas et Juxta Recentissimas Observationes Aeque ac Relationes...", Haas/Homann Heirs

Large decorative cartouche features Europa, crowns, horse heads, putti and the figure of Fame with her trumpet. A handsome map that extends to include Iceland, the Mediterranean, and part of Northern Africa. French title L'Europe dessinee Suivant les Regles... is in top margin.

A nice impression with contemporary color in the map and later color in the decorative elements. There is some minor foxing and a 3" centerfold separation at bottom that has been closed on both verso and recto with old paper.
